FPTP lets us down again.
Looking just at the local context in Bristol West, people from outside Bristol might get the wrong impression ...
that support for the Greens has halved. In fact, what we've heard time and time again is how much voters like the Green Party ... but ...
they saw the election in national terms as a two party contest, and felt they had to vote for Labour, and specifically, for Corbyn
It was a tough ask to take on both the very strong pro-Corbyn vote and the pro-Thangam vote.
But we gave it our best shot. Bristol Greens ran an amazing campaign, with fantastic help from Greens visiting from elsewhere.
Well done everyone associated with the @Molly4Bristol campaign, and thank you Molly for being such a great candidate.
@Molly4Bristol And congratulations also to @ThangamMP who ran a very strong campaign and will be a good representative of the interests of Bristol West.
@Molly4Bristol @ThangamMP Speaking of which, as my newly re-elected MP @ThangamMP, please will you support #electoralreform, in the interests of the whole country?
